So I put some Simichrome on my O-1 folder to prevent rust. But how well will that prevent rust and discoloration? And to what degree? Will food prep or cutting steak discolor it? If yes would more Simichrome take it off? Thanks.
Put olive oil on one blade and sunflower oil another.
Both are ESEE Izula's, 1095 steel. Gonna try sunflower oil in the future.
